  1. There's a number of subbies and hire with operators we use, if they asked for £50 more we'd probably pay it...... Shy bairns get nae sweets
  2. I'm based in Glasgow and were doing alright, 3 man team, usual 3 man set up. What we do is keep a close eye on our profit margin.
  3. This makes no sense
  4. Same number as well
  5. Thats the exact text I got the other day...posted about it here
  6. Got mine taken off me when I was 9 or 10
  7. Yeah Stihl gear half price, but 500, 261 and grinder used
  8. Just had a random text from someone asking if we want half price Stihl gear. Hes also got a 500, 261 and stump grinder he's doing "deals on". Selling for a mate etc etc etc
  9. I'd recommend the MS 400, great all round ground saw and light in the tree
  10. How would I check that mate?
  11. Had blockage in our ST6, freed it, now both rollers are running very slow and then stopping, in both directions, feels like they've lost hydraulic pressure but levels are fine. Any ideas?
  12. Bark looks like Hawthorn on the top picture
  13. Maybe get a trial on an avant if you're thinking about buying one.....try different attachments
  14. Aye, you'd be better with a claw attachment. Buckets are fine, but as Mick said you'll end up picking up loads of earth/mud, which will trash your chains
  15. Our yard has no electric, and I'm getting tired of driving to the car wash to hose chipper/grinder down. Has anyone got a decent setup (washer/generator) that works well for them? We've got plenty of IBC's for water storage.
  16. Given how far the bark has been scattered I'd say someone's been picking at it. Doesn't seem to be down to the cambium, no harm done.
  17. Its frustrating when you do this line of work day in day out, and you get hit with a 20 page questionnaire asking for your "modern slavery statement" and other documents.
  18. Someone posted a species a while back in another post, can't remember the name.....one of the quickest growing species, but not native to the UK
  19. As Gareth says, ask your current insurers, they should be able to add equipment insurance onto your current policy. Tipper insurance is cheaper through phoning around
  20. You'll need CS41 for dismantles......
  21. Stupid question, thats not a nail in the tree is it?
  22. I suppose the first 3 walls of Codit have already taken place before the external branch collar compartmentalise?
  23. Why flush cut?
  24. Often think about this.....If we prune trees in the winter during dormancy, CODIT doesn't occur until Spring, so we may as well prune in the spring.....for many trees Spring is a bad time to prune, so wait until the summer before spores are high. Have you got any links you could share?
  25. Been subscribed to this for a while, but going to start tendering for work through the portal in the new year. Anyone else use it? Any tips? Thanks in advance
